a protest in antwerp it's no longer about burning down u.s. embassies in muslim countries in europe they're calling for holy war. london saw similar scenes demonstrators outside the u.s. embassy following friday prayers and up to a thousand again on sunday tempers flared and flags were burnt. analysts point out the small scale of european protests compared to those in the middle east but they say local islamists are using this to recruit new members a worrying sign. as i say mainstream extremists who want a better world groups are looking to exploit this in order to encourage young men to come and join them and try and get into a habit of protest a habit of extremists and demonstrations and that's always an area to be concerned about and it's already prompted a backlash as u.s.

2:14 am
but the most important thing to note monday when these optimists gather together for the one year anniversary is that they are still very much committed to their fight against income inequality against corporate influence on us politics but what also for me was the heavy handed tactics used by the n.y.p.d. against optimus some participating in civil disobedience on many occasions we saw them by pushing. optimus to the ground a lot of us feel disillusioned and kind of put down like we can't there's nowhere to go and there's no recourse that isn't violent you know they're the violent ones they're putting us in a position of violence and they're acting violently against us which i don't like. much disruption as we could you know to show people that we're still iran and that the measures just in the same way you know they still a lot of economic inequality in this country and the corporations are running away with power you know with the political game such genealogies because you don't see us here every day doesn't mean that we're not here it's actually something that
2:15 am
gives me a lot of hope personally is something that makes me feel hopeful for the future to see all these people involved and everybody down here now while some have criticized this movement as not going beyond civil disobedience are chanting or yelling still very clear that the frustrations that ignited this movement are still very much alive where it will go from here only time will tell but it will be interesting to see how and if this event this movement has any impact on the u.s. presidential election that is just seven weeks away the activists i spoke with throughout monday say they are committed committed to this movement and will be doing everything they can even if it means to civil disobedience to cause a change in their system that they believe does not have on behalf of ninety nine percent of the country reporting from new york bring up or not party. and to war
2:16 am
activists and u.s. marine veteran j.r. m says the occupy movements message paints a true picture of america's financial inequality. has been a phenomenal success and it's just a national problem for station to focus on the national mall he says committed against this country you know there is a solution between the origins of the politicians. and occupy wall. catch reminding people that the main problems that they were protesting about a year ago past gotten worse map just the that even though the federal reserve has announced q four are. there the united states by well connected interests and back stairs is. the chance to ask. got sold out is its own science and accurate picture and there's a problem meeting on happening in this country. insurance companies the.
2:17 am
people that sold out in a war profiteers got bailed out and soldiers got sold out. and all the rest of us it gives me extreme pleasure to say happy birthday on wall street and i hear in the end it's still going strong and here's another year off and just actually getting into the system. and former u.s. governor jesse ventura has some advice for occupy activist as he lays out his agenda for a possible presidential run in twenty sixteen here's a preview of what's to come later this hour here on our team. they need to continue to stay apart they need to continue to get arrested they need to continue to be vigilant how do you think we stop the vietnam war said to me the turning point of the vietnam war many people say it was the sixty eight ted offensive that was huge but i don't believe that was the real turning point for america i believe the
2:18 am
turning point of the vietnam war was when the four students were killed at kent state i hate to say yep but it's going to require something of that magnitude for the wall street movement to truly album impact to the psyche of mainstream america. japan's largest corporations have had to put their operations on hold in china due to fear its anti japanese protests triggered by a territorial tete a tete slammed tokyo for buying disputed islands from a private owner while western everette frae plans to build a second anti-missile radar on japanese soil stephen clemence from the atlantic magazine believes countries are now testing the water before making better moves in the future. when we have both sides doing its probing weaknesses of the other
2:19 am
china feels that it's due more respect than it's using issues like the islands issue or using. some skirmishes over japan just having consented to place another ballistic missile defense system because essentially two powers squaring off and while this looks like china japan and there are certainly deep historical grievances this is really about china testing the united states and its alliance with japan and to some degree i expect these kind of skirmishes to continue for a long time. it's games of brinksmanship it will continue to look tense and tense and dense and then you'll have moments of relaxation so what we're seeing today is a snapshot of what we're going to see for the next decade or more they say that that is not designed to essentially confront china but it's also designed to set in a signal that asia and the asian century and economics and commerce in the region and the growth of china matter and that the united states is not going to withdraw from that region so it's trying to sell the point that its strategic footprint in asia will remain where it is if not grow larger it while at the same time you know
2:20 am
these wars that we've been having in the middle east will shrink by that but to be just bottom line is we don't know whether the rise of china is going to lead to conflict between the united states and china and its allies or whether it will be managed and it will have both cooperation and confrontation that are essentially managed we don't have a hot war but but this translates just like it used to be in the cold war with the soviets and the united states were oftentimes the way to achieve peace is the way to achieve the term is through deterrence and through a stronger posture and i think that the day but debatable you but that's at least the way japan and china are positioning themselves today. and we have plenty more stories for you comments our website but here's a look at what i can find there right now. so we're security find out why the controversial full body scanners are to be banned from e.u. airports. and how the super rich are getting richer about the only slightly rich are getting poorer read about why the wealth gap between the world's millionaires

your element of the case against him is purely a little worse if he is willing to answer the call to duty and they are so concerned they ought to be about the job again the thought they ought to be willing to come to london to interview him the fact that the switch authorities are not willing to come down on them i'm home to laden and excuse themselves time and time again doesn't indicate that they really take these other geishas seriously because a serious prosecutor would want to interview julian songs as quickly as possible is why any necessary me we're going to certainly you know his opportunity and he's going to be interviewed in london has been on the table for over a year not be taken out of the swedish prosecutors and assigned out across over to the business desk where in the town there for us on the latest and we're hearing that the i.m.f. is not too upbeat on russia's economic prospects why is there more international
2:23 am
while the international monetary fund indeed is pretty gloomy on russia the organization's latest outlook has lower growth targets and higher estimate of places consumer prices have jumped more than the annual target of six percent and growth remains pretty sluggish local economists believe russia's central bank was right and boosting the interest rates last week even as the regulators across the globe did just the opposite. our central bank is going up as a direction of a increase their interest rate which is unusual because all their good rogers is decreasing it's a part of the on deflation poultice because for our country it will be different problems we have are less problems with unemployment there are more problems with. credit policy with money which was used for void for structure and you know them as it used to be said all the different ways. and let's not check out the equity
